The first wife of the strongest peasant daughter
Chapter 111
Chapter 111
Zhang Xuan is not easy to deal with, but he still has a defense against Gu Chuhan but not Gu Lingshan at all.
However, a pig butcher, even if he had killed people, was nothing more than a countryman. He was lucky enough to have a son like Gu Chuhan, and saved him with his credit.
So he never thought that Gu Lingshan would attack him, and dared to attack him in the government office.
Gu Chuhan also wanted to follow, even though she didn't have a gun, it would be no problem for her to help with force.
Gu Lingshan shook his head and asked her to wait outside, while he sneaked in quietly.
Zhang Xuan likes to drink a little wine, and often drinks two glasses before going to bed, which allows him to fall asleep peacefully.But there will be no more. There are people who assassinate Zhang Congwen secretly, and he is also responsible for protecting them.
This habit is also known to many people in the government office. Zhang Congwen knew that he had always been measured, so he didn't control it too much.
I changed the wine today, although it is not fake, but it is not strong enough, I drank two more glasses before falling asleep.In the middle of the night, I couldn't help getting up at night.
Although the government office was better built than the county office, everything was built strictly according to the specifications. There was no clean room in Zhang Xuan's house, so he had to go to the subordinate's hut for convenience.
The old-fashioned huts have not been cleaned for some days due to the colder weather. Just wait until the [-]th to clean up thoroughly for the festival, and it will save early cleaning, and the Mid-Autumn Festival will not be bright enough.
He went to the hut, lit the oil lamp in the hut with a torch, and untied his belt for convenience.Suddenly, he felt a cold killing intent, the oil lamp flickered out, he was startled, and looked over sharply. In the darkness, a pair of cold eyes were silently staring at him, as if they were looking at a dead person.
Zhang Xuan's heart shuddered, secretly startling that the other party's skills were superior to his, and hurriedly wanted to withdraw, but found that he could not move, he could not even open his mouth to yell, and his face completely changed.
Gu Lingshan jumped out, took the wine he had brought out from Zhang Xuan's room, came up and pinched his throat, and poured it in.
Zhang Xuan wanted to struggle, but he couldn't move at all. The veins in his head were throbbing with anxiety, and the fear in his eyes was getting deeper and deeper.
Until he poured a large jar of wine down, asked him to close his eyelids, and gave him a slight push.
Zhang Xuan fell down in the latrine.
Putting the wine jar back, Gu Lingshan quietly retreated.
Gu Chuhan was still waiting outside, watching him come out, "Father?"
"Go!" Gu Lingshan urged in a low voice, and the father and father quickly evacuated and returned to their residence.
Gu Shilang was suffering from diarrhea, which was a little serious. Gu Lingshan went back to the house, and after changing his clothes, he took him to find someone, to find a doctor.
Fortunately, a doctor lived next door to the store. He asked Gu Shilang how many times he had diarrhea, what he had eaten, and what he had eaten. He said that the diarrhea was caused by food conflicts, and it stopped after taking two medicines.
Just as he was talking, Gu Shilang couldn't bear it, and went to the latrine again.
The doctor hurriedly asked the medicine boy to take him there.
Gu Lingshan said that he was here to give a gift, and it was inconvenient to live in an inn, so he borrowed a stove and a medicine pot to grab the medicine and boil it for Gu Shilang directly.
After pouring two bowls of medicine, Gu Shilang's diarrhea quickly stopped.
Gu Lingshan gave a lot of extra consultation fees, thanked him again and again, then took the medicine and went back to the residence with Gu Shilang on his back.
After tossing around for most of the night, Gu Shilang's stomach finally settled down, and he fell asleep.
Gu Lingshan originally wanted to come by himself, and he had been exiled for several years, so it was easier to justify coming back to eat delicious food and spicy food suddenly, but Gu Shilang insisted on coming by himself.Pat his head and let Gu Chuhan go back to sleep.
Gu Chuhan frowned and nodded back to the room, but did not fall asleep.Zhang Xuan didn't know what was going on, if he missed, he would definitely suspect them and never let them leave Fucheng.
The sky soon dawned, and there were two screams from the government office, and the two subordinates discovered that Zhang Xuan, the personal guard of the magistrate, had died in the hut.
When Zhang Congwen heard the news, his face changed suddenly, and he rushed over quickly to see Zhang Xuan was carried out, his head was covered in feces and urine, his face was blue, his body was stiff, and he had been dead for a long time.He felt angry.
Several subordinates were so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound when they saw his gloomy expression.They all knew that Zhang Xuan was the Lord's confidant, and he did many things, but now he was dead. Not to mention the lack of a confidant, and the lack of a layer of absolute protection.
Wu Zuo came over for an autopsy and determined the time and cause of Zhang Xuan's death.
"You said he drank too much wine and fell into the latrine and choked to death?" Zhang Congwen asked in a dark tone.
Wu Zuo had never seen him with such a creepy expression before. He was always gentle and gentle, and he responded bravely, "Yes! Your Excellency...you can ask someone else to check it." Zhang Xuan spit out all the wine, or drank last night.
The Fucha went to Zhang Xuan's house again and found that he had drunk a large jar of wine.
"It's murder!" Zhang Congwen never believed that Zhang Xuan would die like this. His martial arts are so strong that even if he fell drunk, he would not die like this!Besides, he basically doesn't drink too much, at most two glasses before going to bed.This is murder!Someone is following him and wants to attack him, so first kill Zhang Xuan, who is the most skilled around him!
Two or three forensics failed to find out the fact of the murder, but Zhang Congwen said it was murder, so this case needs to be investigated.
Several subordinates also said that Zhang Xuan was a master of martial arts, never got drunk, had nothing to do last night, let alone got drunk, fell into the latrine and couldn't get up and was choked to death in it, but they didn't hear anything movement.
Zhang Congwen's first suspicion was Gu Chuhan, but even if he was a little flamboyant, with a guard, he, the guard, and the people in the dark might not be able to deal with Zhang Xuan.Who can sneak into the government office without making a sound, let Zhang Xuan be captured without a fight, drink so much alcohol, and die in the hut! ?
"See if he has signs of poisoning!"
The operators re-examined and found no signs of poisoning at all, but fell into it and struggled.
Zhang Congwen didn't speak for a long time. He suspected Gu Chuhan, but he didn't have the ability to kill Zhang Xuan quietly, but now that Zhang Xuan was killed, there was no trace of any suspects. Could it be an unsolved case?Zhang Xuanbai died, his safety was threatened! ?
"Investigate again! Don't let go of any details! If the murderer can enter the government office to kill people, he will definitely leave clues!" Zhang Congwen couldn't believe that he couldn't find out!
Everyone responded, and then went to investigate in detail.
Over there, Gu Chuhan took Gu Lingshan and the improved Gu Shilang to Yan's house to visit and present them with gifts.
Yan Junfeng received the news in advance and was waiting at home.When we met, I looked at Gu Lingshan and couldn't help laughing, "Uncle Gu is really as strong as I thought!"
Gu Lingshan was a little embarrassed and naive when he heard this, "I'm just a farmer who kills pigs!"
Yan Junfeng saw that he was a little uncomfortable, and told him not to restrain himself, "Jiulang and Zixu are friends of eight worshippers. Although Zixu and I are not brothers, we are just close friends. Jiulang and I have also known each other for a long time. Uncle Gu only treats him as his own family!"
"Exactly!" Gu Chuhan bluntly drank tea and ate snacks, "This chrysanthemum cake is delicious!"
Yan Junfeng's smile deepened, "This year's newly made small mooncakes are also crispy and delicious, and I'm going to give you some, just try it first!"
Gu Chuhan tasted another small mooncake, which was only the size of a thumb and filled with fillings. It was crispy on the outside and sweet on the inside. One bite at a time, it was very delicious. She nodded repeatedly as she ate it.
"Jiulang..." Gu Lingshan called softly to remind her, but seeing how happy she was eating, he was a little helpless and didn't say anything.
Yan Junfeng asked him with a smile, and seeing that Gu Shilang was not as lively as before, "What's wrong with Shilang? Why does he look sick?"
Gu Shilang muttered, "I ate snacks indiscriminately on the way, and the food was so bad that I went to see the doctor again after spending most of the night yesterday."
The corner of Gu Chuhan's mouth twitched, and he stopped eating.
Yan Junfeng was about to ask about the situation, when Liu Ji'an walked in quickly, glanced at Mrs. Gu Chuhan and the three, and said directly, "Young master! The personal guard of the magistrate named Zhang Xuan is dead!"
"What? Zhang Xuan is dead!?" Yan Junfeng asked in surprise.
Gu Chuhan also stood up all of a sudden, "How did you die?"
Liu Ji'an hurriedly explained, "I drank too much wine and fell into the latrine when I got up at night. After the autopsy, I said it was an accident, and the magistrate said it was murder. Now the government is on guard and strictly investigating the case."
Gu Chuhan immediately looked at Yan Junfeng, and did not speak for a while.
Even though Yan Junfeng's men were manned, there was absolutely no need to assassinate a magistrate, that would put the entire Yan family at risk.And he also knew Gu Chuhan's three-legged cat skill, so he had no doubts at all, "Could it be a secret killer?"
Gu Chuhan also nodded, "I think it's possible. That Zhang Xuan's martial arts is so advanced that he can attack him exceptionally, and there is no evidence left yet."
Yan Junfeng waved Liu Ji'an down, "Pay attention to the movement."
Fuquan looked at it and took a deep breath, "Master! Without Zhang Xuan as a minion, I dare not move over there!"
Yan Junfeng was not at ease, afraid that Zhang Congwen would jump over the wall in a hurry, and there was more than one man around him, looking at Gu Chuhan, "It's okay, you better go home! Since he is a habitual offender, he has extraordinary methods, and he must be more careful!"
"Okay!" Gu Chuhan nodded.
Gu Lingshan also asked about the situation.
Looking at his expression, Yan Junfeng guessed that he didn't know that Zhang Congwen coveted Gu Chuhan, and then looked at Gu Chuhan and Gu Shilang, telling them to go back early.
After giving the boxing gift, the three of you came out of Yan's house.Gu Lingshan turned to a public toilet, called the gatekeeper to go home and called Gu Silang, "Tell him that I'm back! Live in the back alley inn on Changshou Street!"
Seeing his fury, the gatekeeper knew Gu Chuhan, and was startled when he heard her call her father, so he hurriedly found him to report to Gu Silang.
When Gu Silang heard that Gu Lingshan had already arrived home and even came to Fucheng, he thought he was deliberately trying to settle accounts with him, his frightened face instantly turned yellow and white.
"Isn't it because your father is back? It's so scary!? Besides, you didn't kill my mother-in-law! If he is not willing to punish Gu Jiulang, he can't treat one more favorably than another!" Luo Xiaying said, changing the old clothes and giving them to her son. He didn't have time to throw it away before changing his body, so he urged Gu Silang to change quickly.
Gu Silang frowned for a long time, the natural fear from the bottom of his heart made him a little afraid, changed his clothes in a hurry, and the family of three went out.
Fearing that Gu Lingshan would beat him up indiscriminately, he turned around and informed Meng Shi and Li Cuiling Gu Sanlang.
Gu Sanlang didn't want to go, so he disdained Gu Jiulang!
But Mrs. Meng is going, "Third Uncle is back, since we know we should visit!"
Of course, Li Cuiling had to follow suit, pulling Gu Sanlang along.
With these people together, Gu Silang thought that no matter how annoyed Gu Lingshan was, he would give him some face.Unexpectedly, she slapped her head and face with a big slap, and slapped her hard.
"Ah-"
Gu Silang screamed in pain, couldn't stand still and fell to the ground. When he looked up, his face became paler with fright, "Father..."
"... Father-in-law!?" Luo Xiaying's face changed suddenly in fright.
Gu Xiaolang also hurriedly turned his head and looked at it incomprehensibly.
The three Meng shi also took a breath in shock, and couldn't help but take a step back.
"Naughty animal!" Gu Lingshan's face was sullen with anger, as if it was dripping water.
Gu Silang was afraid, hated and annoyed in his heart, "Dad beat me when we first met, who did you listen to sow discord?!"
"You little bastard! You have done something worse than a bastard, and you still admit your mistake!?" Gu Lingshan went up and kicked him angrily.
Although Gu Silang has been beaten once or twice a year since he was afraid of him, he has never been beaten so hard before. When he kicked his chest, he suddenly felt a huge pain in his entire chest cavity as if it was shattered. About to rush up, he spit out blood when he opened his mouth, and lay on the ground for a while before recovering.Being beaten and scolded like this in public, he felt that he was forcibly slapped in the face, lost all face, and his annoyed heart became even more angry.
Luo Xiaying was startled, and plopped down on her knees, "Father! Father, please forgive my husband!" She stretched out her hand and squeezed her son's hand hard.
Gu Xiaolang burst into tears.
Gu Sanlang pursed his lips secretly, scoffing coldly in his heart, feeling a little disdainful.Stand still, do not go up to persuade.
Both Meng and Li Cuiling watched, not knowing what to do.
Gu Chuhan pulled Gu Lingshan back, "Father! Since you beat him, let's expose it! Mother is gone, and the living have to live. And fourth brother was young and ignorant, and he had already repented when he came back."
Gu Shilang also persuaded, "Father, don't blame fourth brother!"
"You bastard! Kneel for me!" Gu Lingshan shouted angrily.
Gu Silang got up and knelt down holding back the anger and hatred in his heart, his eyes were dark red, "Father only blames me for hurting mother, why don't you ask who did mother die for!? If it weren't for Ji Jiulang's leg, mother would not have killed her at all!" You won't hang yourself!"
"You still dare to argue?! You look like you've repented!?" Gu Lingshan pointed at him angrily.
Gu Silang quibbled, "I have repented! But I also repented of my mistakes! Why is it not all my fault, but blame me?! Let me alone?!"
"Jade pendant? Where's the money for selling the jade pendant?" Gu Lingshan asked angrily in a cold voice.
When asked about this, Gu Silang was at a loss for words.
Seeing her grandson crying in terror, Luo Xiaying couldn't stop Gu Lingshan from getting angry. She knew that he hated them and completely stood on Gu Chuhan's side. Not only was her heart full of sadness but also anger.Everyone sided with Gu Jiulang and the others, blaming and blaming them. Unexpectedly, the father-in-law would also completely side with them when he came back!Don't even think about the property at home!In the future, what justice and good life will they have in this room! ?
Only then did Meng dare to come forward and call the third uncle, saying that she was Gu Dalang's wife, and persuaded softly, "Third uncle doesn't care about anything else, but for the sake of the child, please forgive me this time!"
Gu Xiaolang was still crying in a hoarse voice, his little face was flushed with tears all over his face.
Seeing her speak, Li Cuiling quickly gave Gu Sanlang a wink, stepped forward to salute, and then spoke words of persuasion.
Gu Lingshan wanted to kick again, but was grabbed by Gu Chuhan, "Get lost! Don't let me see you again, you bastard! I don't have a son like you!"
Gu Silang was not reconciled, and he was called here just to beat him up, and then tell him not to show up again?Without his son?What do you mean?Disconnect with him! ?
Luo Xiaying's face was also stiff and ugly, "Father!? Mr. Xiang was young at the time, so he really didn't do it on purpose! Mother-in-law's death is not a one-sided reason, it can't be all blamed on Mr. Xiang!"
Gu Lingshan didn't want to hear any more, and told them to get out, "If you really want to, you won't even go to the grave to burn paper on July [-]th?! Get out!"
Luo Xiaying hurriedly said that she was going to burn it, and she burned it in advance.When Mrs. Gu was seriously ill, Mrs. Meng and Li Cuiling went back, and she followed suit. To show that she went to the cemetery to burn paper money for Mrs. Xie, and told Mrs. Gu and Gu Chuhan specifically.
"Get out!" Gu Lingshan didn't want to see them.
Gu Silang got up angrily, glared at Gu Chuhan bitterly, clutched his chest, and left.
Luo Xiaying watched and had no choice but to hug her son and leave with her.
The remaining three, Meng Shi, Gu Sanlang and Li Cuiling, didn't know what to say.
Gu Chuhan asked nonchalantly, "Sister-in-law! How many days does it take for elder brother to come back? Do you have a message?"
"I didn't send a message, but I guess I waited for the news of the rankings to come back. The work in my hand was finished in a day or two. When are you going home? Shall I go with you? I'm waiting for your elder brother!" Meng said with a smile.
Gu Chuhan nodded, "Then we'll wait for sister-in-law for two days!" Then he looked at Gu Sanlang and Li Cuiling, "How about you, sister-in-law?"
Li Cuiling hurriedly said, "Your third brother will only be away from home for three days during the Mid-Autumn Festival. We won't go home this year during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's see if there is a longer farming holiday in the future, and then go back!"
Mrs. Meng asked about Gu Lingshan's health again, and heard that he was in good health and that his family was also well, so he politely declined the meal and left with Gu Sanlang and Li Cuiling to go home.
Seeing that Gu Lingshan's expression was still not good, Gu Chuhan simply pulled him out, "Dad, don't be angry! Let's go shopping! Buy a gift! Also show the dowry to the second sister! The second sister's wedding is scheduled for the third day of the twelfth lunar month at the end of the year, and I will Not a few months to prepare."
Speaking of his daughter's marriage, Gu Lingshan's face softened, "Okay! Then go and have a look!"
After dinner, the three of them brought Shi Zan and Heihu went shopping.
"I don't need any clothes or cloth, just get the goods directly from Jinxiufang. For gold and silver jewelry, Baihe County orders some. The styles in the prefecture city should be different, so I can buy some later! Beds, tables and chairs are made to order at the furniture store. Yes, it’s already finished, I’ll make the sofa in my own shop, and I’ll catch up in October. There are some other odds and ends that need to be bought!” Gu Chuhan made a list, and when he came, he was thinking about Zhang Congwen, so he forgot to take it.
"Let's take a look first, and buy if there are any good ones! For small things, just buy them when you come to me!" Gu Lingshan laughed.
The three of you were just finishing shopping at the wedding shop and going to buy gifts when you heard the news of Zhang Xuan's death and came to the government office to inquire about the situation.
Hearing the three of them coming over, Zhang Congwen's eyes were gloomy, and he doubted again, "Let them in!"
Before Gu Chuhan entered the room, he saw that his face was a little gray and sullen, and his eyes were not as gentle as before. Although his gentle and elegant image maintained his appearance, it had already lost momentum.She snorted coldly in her heart, and quickly walked into the room with a worried face, "My lord! We heard people on the street that Brother Zhang Xuan had an accident? Isn't he good at martial arts, why did something happen suddenly?"
Zhang Cong Wenzai carefully observed her expression, but couldn't see any flaws. He frowned secretly and sighed, "Zhang Xuan has been with me for more than ten years, and I didn't expect him to die in a strange way! I can't find any clues about the murderer! "
"I asked people on the street, and some said that brother Zhang Xuan died unexpectedly at night when he was drunk! Some said that he was killed by someone! How did brother Zhang Xuan die? Who dared to commit murder in the government office? ?" Gu Chuhan frowned unkindly.
Zhang Congwen shook his head, "It's impossible for Zhang Xuan to be surprised, he must have been murdered! I have no clue who the murderer is."
At this moment, an arrow was shot on the plaque of the government office, and a long strip of cloth was tied to the arrow.
The guard chased to the opposite side, but found no trace of any suspicious person. The arrow was pulled out, and the cloth strip tied on it was opened, and the scarlet letter written in blood read: Zhang Congwen is not as good as a beast, raping and mutilating young people, your time of death is coming!
Several officials were surprised, what does this mean?rape! ?Harm! ?juvenile! ?
No one dared to say anything else, so he quickly presented the blood book to Zhang Congwen.
Zhang Congwen looked at it, and his face sank, "Where did Xiao Xiao come from? Bewitching words! Have you caught anyone?"
"Return...Return to your lord! No!" The servant lowered his head and replied, and couldn't help but glanced at him quietly.For so many years, this magistrate is the most kind and gentle person they have encountered. Not only is he upright and honest, but he has also done a lot of good things when he came to Xiangyang Prefecture. Could it be written in the blood book?
Gu Chuhan looked puzzled, "What did you write?"
Zhang Congwen thought about it, and handed it to her, calmly.
Gu Chuhan opened it suspiciously, and sneered, "What a mess! It's impossible!"
"Jiulang also thinks it's impossible?" Zhang Congwen asked her.
"Of course! My lord is not that kind of person at all! It must be that my lord hindered the interests of some people, and those people used this to slander me and threaten me! In this world, it is hard to survive!" Gu Chuhan frowned and said more and more angrily.
Zhang Congwen sighed, "Zhang Xuan was murdered in a strange way, and now there is this bloody book shot here. No matter how much I have done for the people, once those rumors spread and the imperial censor is impeached, it will not matter to the end of my official career. I am afraid that I have I'm too upright in the officialdom and offended too many people, this basin of sewage is going to be poured on my head!"
"No! Your Excellency has never done it, even if they frame it, they can't wrong you! We all believe that your Excellency is a good person! If it is true...if they dare to slander Your Excellency, I will write a book of ten thousand people for your Excellency! Please ask your majesty Return your lord's innocence!" Gu Chuhan repayed his favor with determination.
Zhang Congwen raised his hand and touched her head, feeling relieved, "I'm afraid those people believe the rumors, and their saliva alone will drown me!"
Gu Lingshan secretly glanced at the hand he placed on Gu Chuhan's head, with murderous intent in his eyes, he pulled Gu Chuhan and Gu Shilang to kneel down, "My lord! You are a very good person! If those people dare to wrong you or frame you, the villain's whole family will Justify your name!"
Gu Chuhan and Gu Shilang also hurriedly followed suit.
Zhang Congwen saw that Gu Lingshan wanted to repay, so he took advantage of the situation and proposed to recognize Gu Chuhan as his godson, "With Jiulang around, those people should also believe that I am not corrupted by rumors!"
Gu Lingshan's face was filled with embarrassment, "This can't be done! My son can't recognize other people!"
"What? You don't want to? It's just a son, not an adoption! Jiulang is still the heir of your Gu family, your son!" Zhang Congwen said.
Gu Lingshan had a dead-headed look on his face, "You can't do it! You can't recognize someone else as a father! In short, if someone slanders you, our family will justify your name! It's really not okay to admit a son!"
Gu Chuhan was a little embarrassed, and grinned apologetically at Zhang Congwen, "My father is a bit..." She pointed to his brain, saying that he was a bit brainy.
"You keep saying to repay the Lord! Now is the time for you to repay, but you are not willing!?" The subordinate came up and scolded.
Gu Lingshan's eyes were red, and he explained at a loss, "Recognizing the father and mother recognizes the father and mother. It is fate and destiny. You can't mistake it! If your lord wants to help us repay others, we will definitely repay you! This is really not good!"
It was as if they were forcing them to repay. Zhang Congwen shouted back at his subordinates, and sighed, "I have always been childless, and I valued Jiulang very much, so I decided to accept him as a godson. I am the one who made things difficult for you! Get up!" !"
Gu Lingshan hurriedly reassured him, and took Gu Chuhan and Gu Shilang to leave.
When I went outside, seeing someone following me, Gu Chuhan asked, "Father! Mr. Zhang thinks highly of me. If I recognize him as my godfather, my future and official career will be assured!"
Seeing that she said this, Gu Shilang hurriedly followed up, "Master Zhang is very kind to our family! It is because he helped a lot to get the booklet that Dad was pardoned so quickly!"
Gu Lingshan sighed bitterly, "Father also knows, but I can't push your brother into the fire pit! You didn't see the words behind the bloody book, Mr. Zhang's death is coming. If we recognize our god-in-law, those people will not be able to take revenge on Mr. Zhang." , come to kill us, then what shall we do!? Let’s go quickly! Mr. Zhang will be wronged, and we will get thousands of books at worst!”
Those who followed behind followed until the three of them arrived at the residence, and then went back to report.
After hearing this, Zhang Congwen did not completely dispel his doubts.
However, Meng's hands and feet are fast, but after finishing the embroidery work one day, he packed up his things and came to meet them and go home together.
When Yan Junfeng heard that they were leaving, he sent a bunch of game delicacies and moon cakes as a gift, and went to the government office to bid farewell together.
Zhang Congwen watched and let them go.At this time, there should be no further complications!Just looking at Gu Chuhan, the unwillingness to succeed flashed across his eyes.
Leaving Fucheng, Gu Shilang secretly heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Gu Chuhan and smiled.Now this trouble is big!The one who secretly wanted to assassinate Zhang Congwen would definitely take the opportunity to assassinate him, and that Zhang Congwen would have no time to covet Brother Ninth!
Not two days after they left, the words in the blood book gradually spread, and the whole city was in an uproar, unable to believe it.Rape and mutilate teenagers?This is something only a pervert can do! ?Even if a rich family keeps child molesters in captivity, there are some who have lost their sleeves, but they don't believe Zhang Congwen's rape and murder.
After the incident broke out, someone Zhang Congwen had offended directly reported it.Isn't it watertight?With such a big handle, you're still proud of it! ?
Zhang Congwen left the door of the government office wide open, "I have a clear conscience. I am not afraid of any monsters and ghosts. Let those who have evil intentions come here! The way of heaven is in people's hearts!"
What he said was righteous, and when there was a thunderstorm that night, the aboveboard plaque hanging outside the lobby was set on fire.
People wondered whether Zhang Congwen had really done something that harmed the heavens and made people worse than animals, and was punished by the heavens! ?
Zhang Congwen didn't believe in retribution from heaven, so while dispelling the rumors, he asked people to find out who was behind the scenes.
It's a pity that the crowd is so vast, it seems that the person behind the scenes has never appeared, and they can't be found anywhere, so the yamen's servants grab the merchants and interrogate them everywhere, making it even more chaotic.Makes people more suspicious.
Zhang Congwen was also in a state of desperation, he couldn't help being violent in his heart, but he still had to hold back on his face, and stabilized his posture.
It's not that he hasn't been dealt with before, but that side has never been exposed like this. Before that, he killed Zhang Xuan and cut off his most powerful arm at once.
Gu Lingshan and the others had already rushed home, Meng Shi was pulled in the carriage, and Gu Chuhan and Gu Shilang were sitting outside.Shi Zan was driving a car without a shed, pulling the purchased Jieli and Gu Raniang's dowry, as well as Gu Lingshan and Heihu.
When the group arrived home, Mrs. Gu saw that the masters were back, and brought back Jieli and Gu Raniang's dowry. She was very happy, and hurriedly asked the masters to eat first and wash up.
Meng Shi also returned home with the burden and the ceremony.
Every household has begun to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it's time for the autumn harvest.
This year, there is enough rain, and the rice is a few days late. Most people are planning to harvest after the [-]th day.
Gu Silang and Luo Xiaying also rushed back with their sons dragging Jieli.
Gu Lingshan refused to let them come to the door, "I don't have his son! Let him get out!"
Mrs. Gu looked at it, sighed, put away the mooncakes and meat, and told Gu Silang and Luo Xiaying to go back first, "There is no feud in the family, so I will try to persuade you! After a long time, your father will let you go." Alright!" She, the mother, knows best how much the third son put into marrying Mrs. Xie.Fearing that the daughter-in-law will be bullied by her sister-in-law, she persuades and puts down the picky son to give up the family.Now that the Xie family is gone, how can he feel better?It may take a while to get over this hurdle.
Gu Silang took a look, he didn't stay long, he gave the festival gift, just after the [-]th day, he asked the villagers to help harvest the rice and prepare the land, half of the harvest was harvested for the family, he rented out the land, and returned to Fucheng with Luo Xiaying and her son .He has no money now, and can only make money by buying and selling excrement in public toilets and huts. He has reached this point, and he must get money!More money than Gu Jiulang!
If it weren't for the silver, those people would not have stood by him to speak up for him, and they all blamed him for killing his mother!Those people are talking about money!The dead old woman had already been bribed by him!Even his father is on his side, because he has a lot of money!Look at him saving him with credit!
As long as his money also increases, those people will crawl over like dogs to curry favor with him!He does what he says!Never dare to look down on him again!
However, Gu Chuhan's reputation grew bigger and bigger with the harvest of cotton.
Cottonseed peeling machines have been used everywhere. It is convenient and light, and the cottonseeds produced in one day are twice as much as before.
Gu Chuhan has a machine here, and the village knows that everyone likes to come and borrow it, and there is no need for a basket of good words, so someone has already suggested Gu Lingshan.
This Gu Jiulang said that he was still young, and he didn't want to talk about his marriage without his merits, so what about Gu Lingshan?Although he hacked someone to death before, but there was a reason for it, and now he is pardoned by the current Holy Master himself, and he has a powerful and capable son with a wealth of wealth, and he will see a prosperous life in the future!
It has been three years since Mrs. Xie died, and the filial piety has also passed away. Gu Lingshan is not very old. He was tall and handsome when he was young. Now, although he has been trained for several years and has lost his former style, he is still much better than others!If you marry him, you will become the mistress of the third house of the Gu family, enjoying endless glory and wealth!
Seeing that their family was at home, they came over to talk and said that Gu Lingshan wanted to marry another daughter-in-law, "You are still so young, you must have a companion! You can't just rely on your mother to take care of the house, she is so old Now that you are old, you should enjoy your blessings! The eldest son was separated, and this Jiulang has no wife!"
Gu Lingshan bluntly refused, "I have a wife! I don't need to marry again!"
"Oh! Gu Laosan! I know you have deep affection for your wife, but after all, you are dead, and you are alone in the world. Xie Xiuyun is so kind and gentle, you must be worried! She Quan I know, I would definitely like you to remarry, so that you can be with me forever!" The matchmaker spared no effort to persuade.
Gu Lingshan still refused, did not agree to remarry, and told her not to say, "I will take care of my mother, my son and daughter live, and no one else needs it!" He said that he had to be busy and sent the matchmaker away.
Here Lian saw the matchmaker coming to the door, and when he got home, he said to Gu Laoer, "The third son is planning to marry another wife!? The matchmaker has come to the door more than once!"
"You don't care about them! The third child is still young, and the family is rich, so it is certain to marry again!" Gu's second child said enviously.The Xie family married by the third child was beautiful, gentle and capable. Apart from bad luck, he got sick and died early.Now that he has made a lot of money, even if his stepmother guesses, he won't marry a bad one!Maybe a girl with a yellow flower can marry it!
Lien said that she had a cousin, "It just so happened that the man died, and she was not bad looking. She was only in her 20s, but she was much younger than the third child!"
"Is that the cousin you mentioned? How does she look like? If the family is poor, no matter how bad she looks, she is still a widow, maybe her fate is hard, and the third child will definitely not agree!" Gu Laoer inquired.
Lian Shi pulled his face, "My cousin is young and well-groomed, do you think she is not good enough for him!? He thought he was really an official! Want to marry a young girl?! Or Miss Qianjin? !"
Of course, the second child Gu also wants to do it, so he will definitely get closer to their second wife, "But the third child must agree! In this way, let's see what your cousin looks like first, and see if we can talk about it!"
Just finished the busy farming, Lian Shi was very tired, "I can't let me rest for two days!"
"Okay! You rest!" Gu Lao Er said, and began to ponder.
However, Gu Lingshan was planning to go to Wuchang Mansion to see how He Jingzhi, the future son-in-law, was doing, and also to see how the shop was doing over there.
He Jingzhi and He Mugen didn't come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Cui asked his youngest son to bring moon cakes as a gift.
Afterwards, I took the money and found someone to harvest the rice in the field, but the land was scarce, and the harvest was fast. After harvesting, I took my youngest son to Wuchang Mansion, planning to have a family reunion there, and I didn't want to be at the mercy of the Gu family before marriage. They discuss.If you have the ability, you come to Wuchang Mansion by yourself and ask my wife to discuss it!I won't talk to you until the wedding date!I see you are still not bowing your heads!
Originally asked Mrs. Cui if she wanted to go and have a look together, but when she heard that she had taken her youngest son to Wuchang Mansion, Gu Chuhan frowned slightly, "I wanted to find a good family for my second sister. The husband loves each other and the in-laws are kind. See This mother-in-law is not very easy to get along with."
"Nothing is perfect in the world! The He family is already doing well!" Gu Raniang said, and couldn't help but think of He Jingzhi, her face became hot and bright red.
"Men's college should be married, and female college's should be married!" Gu Lingshan sighed.
"Father!" Gu Raniang blushed even more when she heard this.
Gu Lingshan laughed, "Okay! Daddy don't say anything!"
Gu Chuhan asked with a smile, "Second Sister! Do you want to go? You haven't seen each other for a long time. This time, I will meet you. You can't meet like this before you get married!"
Gu Raniang wanted to go, she wanted to go very much, she missed He Jingzhi, and wanted to see him.But it's hard to say that, she's a girl, she's not reserved when she says it, if it falls into someone's mouth, it's frivolous!But she couldn't help but desperately wanted to go there.
Seeing her expression, Gu Chuhan guessed that she wanted to go, and pulled her along with a smile, "Take this opportunity to relax, and treat it as a trip!"
Mrs. Gu stayed at home, and Gu Shilang and Gu Ruoniang also followed. The masters and the others took two cars with their luggage.
During this period of time, Gu Chuhan was busy, and Gu Raniang also helped He Jingzhi draw a bunch of new tea methods and patterns, and prepared to show them to him.
Huang Shengfan saw that the masters came to Wuchang Mansion, and couldn't help laughing sinisterly, "I'm really looking for my husband from a thousand miles away? After finding the place, I found that my husband and son-in-law have been robbed. Let's return the marriage again and see if you are still proud." Don't be proud! Let's see if you have been divorced twice, you bitch, and no one wants you to be a scumbag!" He turned around and left immediately after scolding.
When Gu Chuhan and his party arrived at the place, they didn't go to the shop right away. They first found a big car shop to put down their things, washed up and ate something, and then rushed to the shop.
People on the street ran towards the east of the city in groups of three or four, discussing livelyly while running, "Miss Six of the Shen family is a great beauty! She is beautiful and talented in life! There is money and power in the family. , Such a family wants to throw a hydrangea ball to recruit relatives, I don't know which one is cheaper!"
"Whichever is cheap is not for us! Those who go are the children of the aristocratic family, and only those who have a post can enter the door to pick up the hydrangea! Let's just watch the excitement!"
"Let's go! If you go late, there will be no excitement!"
Gu Chuhan also felt itchy when he heard it, "There is actually someone throwing a hydrangea ball to recruit relatives! The adults of the Shen family are really enlightened! It must be very lively!"
Gu Lingshan smiled, "Let's go to the shop first! It's just as lively as it sounds, and we won't be able to squeeze in if we go!"
Gu Chuhan withdrew his gaze with some regret.
Gu Shilang snickered, "Could it be that Miss Shen who was...by Ninth Brother!?"
"Huh?" Gu Chuhan squinted at him.
Gu Julang covered his mouth with a smile.
Gu Raniang also smiled, but she was eager to see He Jingzhi, so she was not interested.
When they came to the shop, the clerk Debao saw them and asked He Jingzhi, "My boss seems to be going to Shen's house to deliver the goods!"
"The Shen family is throwing hydrangeas, what is he sending at this time!?" Gu Chuhan couldn't help frowning, "Which room is it in the Shen family?"
"It seems...it seems to be..." Debao was dumbfounded.
Gu Chuhan's face turned cold, "I can't even say anything!"
"It's the second room of the Shen family!" Debao said hastily.
Degui ran back from the outside and saw Gu Chuhan and Gu Shilang, even if he didn't know Gu Lingshan and Gu Raniang, he guessed well, his face changed suddenly, and he turned around and wanted to withdraw.
Gu Chuhan came up and kicked him to the ground, "What happened? Why are you running away!?"
"My lord! Please spare me, my lord! Yes... yes... Miss Shen's hydrangea hit the master, and she is pulling him to worship!" Degui closed his eyes and said everything.
Gu Raniang's eyes went dark, and her mind buzzed.
(End of this chapter)
Zhang Xuan is not easy to deal with, but he still has a defense against Gu Chuhan but not Gu Lingshan at all.
However, a pig butcher, even if he had killed people, was nothing more than a countryman. He was lucky enough to have a son like Gu Chuhan, and saved him with his credit.
So he never thought that Gu Lingshan would attack him, and dared to attack him in the government office.
Gu Chuhan also wanted to follow, even though she didn't have a gun, it would be no problem for her to help with force.
Gu Lingshan shook his head and asked her to wait outside, while he sneaked in quietly.
Zhang Xuan likes to drink a little wine, and often drinks two glasses before going to bed, which allows him to fall asleep peacefully.But there will be no more. There are people who assassinate Zhang Congwen secretly, and he is also responsible for protecting them.
This habit is also known to many people in the government office. Zhang Congwen knew that he had always been measured, so he didn't control it too much.
I changed the wine today, although it is not fake, but it is not strong enough, I drank two more glasses before falling asleep.In the middle of the night, I couldn't help getting up at night.
Although the government office was better built than the county office, everything was built strictly according to the specifications. There was no clean room in Zhang Xuan's house, so he had to go to the subordinate's hut for convenience.
The old-fashioned huts have not been cleaned for some days due to the colder weather. Just wait until the [-]th to clean up thoroughly for the festival, and it will save early cleaning, and the Mid-Autumn Festival will not be bright enough.
He went to the hut, lit the oil lamp in the hut with a torch, and untied his belt for convenience.Suddenly, he felt a cold killing intent, the oil lamp flickered out, he was startled, and looked over sharply. In the darkness, a pair of cold eyes were silently staring at him, as if they were looking at a dead person.
Zhang Xuan's heart shuddered, secretly startling that the other party's skills were superior to his, and hurriedly wanted to withdraw, but found that he could not move, he could not even open his mouth to yell, and his face completely changed.
Gu Lingshan jumped out, took the wine he had brought out from Zhang Xuan's room, came up and pinched his throat, and poured it in.
Zhang Xuan wanted to struggle, but he couldn't move at all. The veins in his head were throbbing with anxiety, and the fear in his eyes was getting deeper and deeper.
Until he poured a large jar of wine down, asked him to close his eyelids, and gave him a slight push.
Zhang Xuan fell down in the latrine.
Putting the wine jar back, Gu Lingshan quietly retreated.
Gu Chuhan was still waiting outside, watching him come out, "Father?"
"Go!" Gu Lingshan urged in a low voice, and the father and father quickly evacuated and returned to their residence.
Gu Shilang was suffering from diarrhea, which was a little serious. Gu Lingshan went back to the house, and after changing his clothes, he took him to find someone, to find a doctor.
Fortunately, a doctor lived next door to the store. He asked Gu Shilang how many times he had diarrhea, what he had eaten, and what he had eaten. He said that the diarrhea was caused by food conflicts, and it stopped after taking two medicines.
Just as he was talking, Gu Shilang couldn't bear it, and went to the latrine again.
The doctor hurriedly asked the medicine boy to take him there.
Gu Lingshan said that he was here to give a gift, and it was inconvenient to live in an inn, so he borrowed a stove and a medicine pot to grab the medicine and boil it for Gu Shilang directly.
After pouring two bowls of medicine, Gu Shilang's diarrhea quickly stopped.
Gu Lingshan gave a lot of extra consultation fees, thanked him again and again, then took the medicine and went back to the residence with Gu Shilang on his back.
After tossing around for most of the night, Gu Shilang's stomach finally settled down, and he fell asleep.
Gu Lingshan originally wanted to come by himself, and he had been exiled for several years, so it was easier to justify coming back to eat delicious food and spicy food suddenly, but Gu Shilang insisted on coming by himself.Pat his head and let Gu Chuhan go back to sleep.
Gu Chuhan frowned and nodded back to the room, but did not fall asleep.Zhang Xuan didn't know what was going on, if he missed, he would definitely suspect them and never let them leave Fucheng.
The sky soon dawned, and there were two screams from the government office, and the two subordinates discovered that Zhang Xuan, the personal guard of the magistrate, had died in the hut.
When Zhang Congwen heard the news, his face changed suddenly, and he rushed over quickly to see Zhang Xuan was carried out, his head was covered in feces and urine, his face was blue, his body was stiff, and he had been dead for a long time.He felt angry.
Several subordinates were so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound when they saw his gloomy expression.They all knew that Zhang Xuan was the Lord's confidant, and he did many things, but now he was dead. Not to mention the lack of a confidant, and the lack of a layer of absolute protection.
Wu Zuo came over for an autopsy and determined the time and cause of Zhang Xuan's death.
"You said he drank too much wine and fell into the latrine and choked to death?" Zhang Congwen asked in a dark tone.
Wu Zuo had never seen him with such a creepy expression before. He was always gentle and gentle, and he responded bravely, "Yes! Your Excellency...you can ask someone else to check it." Zhang Xuan spit out all the wine, or drank last night.
The Fucha went to Zhang Xuan's house again and found that he had drunk a large jar of wine.
"It's murder!" Zhang Congwen never believed that Zhang Xuan would die like this. His martial arts are so strong that even if he fell drunk, he would not die like this!Besides, he basically doesn't drink too much, at most two glasses before going to bed.This is murder!Someone is following him and wants to attack him, so first kill Zhang Xuan, who is the most skilled around him!
Two or three forensics failed to find out the fact of the murder, but Zhang Congwen said it was murder, so this case needs to be investigated.
Several subordinates also said that Zhang Xuan was a master of martial arts, never got drunk, had nothing to do last night, let alone got drunk, fell into the latrine and couldn't get up and was choked to death in it, but they didn't hear anything movement.
Zhang Congwen's first suspicion was Gu Chuhan, but even if he was a little flamboyant, with a guard, he, the guard, and the people in the dark might not be able to deal with Zhang Xuan.Who can sneak into the government office without making a sound, let Zhang Xuan be captured without a fight, drink so much alcohol, and die in the hut! ?
"See if he has signs of poisoning!"
The operators re-examined and found no signs of poisoning at all, but fell into it and struggled.
Zhang Congwen didn't speak for a long time. He suspected Gu Chuhan, but he didn't have the ability to kill Zhang Xuan quietly, but now that Zhang Xuan was killed, there was no trace of any suspects. Could it be an unsolved case?Zhang Xuanbai died, his safety was threatened! ?
"Investigate again! Don't let go of any details! If the murderer can enter the government office to kill people, he will definitely leave clues!" Zhang Congwen couldn't believe that he couldn't find out!
Everyone responded, and then went to investigate in detail.
Over there, Gu Chuhan took Gu Lingshan and the improved Gu Shilang to Yan's house to visit and present them with gifts.
Yan Junfeng received the news in advance and was waiting at home.When we met, I looked at Gu Lingshan and couldn't help laughing, "Uncle Gu is really as strong as I thought!"
Gu Lingshan was a little embarrassed and naive when he heard this, "I'm just a farmer who kills pigs!"
Yan Junfeng saw that he was a little uncomfortable, and told him not to restrain himself, "Jiulang and Zixu are friends of eight worshippers. Although Zixu and I are not brothers, we are just close friends. Jiulang and I have also known each other for a long time. Uncle Gu only treats him as his own family!"
"Exactly!" Gu Chuhan bluntly drank tea and ate snacks, "This chrysanthemum cake is delicious!"
Yan Junfeng's smile deepened, "This year's newly made small mooncakes are also crispy and delicious, and I'm going to give you some, just try it first!"
Gu Chuhan tasted another small mooncake, which was only the size of a thumb and filled with fillings. It was crispy on the outside and sweet on the inside. One bite at a time, it was very delicious. She nodded repeatedly as she ate it.
"Jiulang..." Gu Lingshan called softly to remind her, but seeing how happy she was eating, he was a little helpless and didn't say anything.
Yan Junfeng asked him with a smile, and seeing that Gu Shilang was not as lively as before, "What's wrong with Shilang? Why does he look sick?"
Gu Shilang muttered, "I ate snacks indiscriminately on the way, and the food was so bad that I went to see the doctor again after spending most of the night yesterday."
The corner of Gu Chuhan's mouth twitched, and he stopped eating.
Yan Junfeng was about to ask about the situation, when Liu Ji'an walked in quickly, glanced at Mrs. Gu Chuhan and the three, and said directly, "Young master! The personal guard of the magistrate named Zhang Xuan is dead!"
"What? Zhang Xuan is dead!?" Yan Junfeng asked in surprise.
Gu Chuhan also stood up all of a sudden, "How did you die?"
Liu Ji'an hurriedly explained, "I drank too much wine and fell into the latrine when I got up at night. After the autopsy, I said it was an accident, and the magistrate said it was murder. Now the government is on guard and strictly investigating the case."
Gu Chuhan immediately looked at Yan Junfeng, and did not speak for a while.
Even though Yan Junfeng's men were manned, there was absolutely no need to assassinate a magistrate, that would put the entire Yan family at risk.And he also knew Gu Chuhan's three-legged cat skill, so he had no doubts at all, "Could it be a secret killer?"
Gu Chuhan also nodded, "I think it's possible. That Zhang Xuan's martial arts is so advanced that he can attack him exceptionally, and there is no evidence left yet."
Yan Junfeng waved Liu Ji'an down, "Pay attention to the movement."
Fuquan looked at it and took a deep breath, "Master! Without Zhang Xuan as a minion, I dare not move over there!"
Yan Junfeng was not at ease, afraid that Zhang Congwen would jump over the wall in a hurry, and there was more than one man around him, looking at Gu Chuhan, "It's okay, you better go home! Since he is a habitual offender, he has extraordinary methods, and he must be more careful!"
"Okay!" Gu Chuhan nodded.
Gu Lingshan also asked about the situation.
Looking at his expression, Yan Junfeng guessed that he didn't know that Zhang Congwen coveted Gu Chuhan, and then looked at Gu Chuhan and Gu Shilang, telling them to go back early.
After giving the boxing gift, the three of you came out of Yan's house.Gu Lingshan turned to a public toilet, called the gatekeeper to go home and called Gu Silang, "Tell him that I'm back! Live in the back alley inn on Changshou Street!"
Seeing his fury, the gatekeeper knew Gu Chuhan, and was startled when he heard her call her father, so he hurriedly found him to report to Gu Silang.
When Gu Silang heard that Gu Lingshan had already arrived home and even came to Fucheng, he thought he was deliberately trying to settle accounts with him, his frightened face instantly turned yellow and white.
"Isn't it because your father is back? It's so scary!? Besides, you didn't kill my mother-in-law! If he is not willing to punish Gu Jiulang, he can't treat one more favorably than another!" Luo Xiaying said, changing the old clothes and giving them to her son. He didn't have time to throw it away before changing his body, so he urged Gu Silang to change quickly.
Gu Silang frowned for a long time, the natural fear from the bottom of his heart made him a little afraid, changed his clothes in a hurry, and the family of three went out.
Fearing that Gu Lingshan would beat him up indiscriminately, he turned around and informed Meng Shi and Li Cuiling Gu Sanlang.
Gu Sanlang didn't want to go, so he disdained Gu Jiulang!
But Mrs. Meng is going, "Third Uncle is back, since we know we should visit!"
Of course, Li Cuiling had to follow suit, pulling Gu Sanlang along.
With these people together, Gu Silang thought that no matter how annoyed Gu Lingshan was, he would give him some face.Unexpectedly, she slapped her head and face with a big slap, and slapped her hard.
"Ah-"
Gu Silang screamed in pain, couldn't stand still and fell to the ground. When he looked up, his face became paler with fright, "Father..."
"... Father-in-law!?" Luo Xiaying's face changed suddenly in fright.
Gu Xiaolang also hurriedly turned his head and looked at it incomprehensibly.
The three Meng shi also took a breath in shock, and couldn't help but take a step back.
"Naughty animal!" Gu Lingshan's face was sullen with anger, as if it was dripping water.
Gu Silang was afraid, hated and annoyed in his heart, "Dad beat me when we first met, who did you listen to sow discord?!"
"You little bastard! You have done something worse than a bastard, and you still admit your mistake!?" Gu Lingshan went up and kicked him angrily.
Although Gu Silang has been beaten once or twice a year since he was afraid of him, he has never been beaten so hard before. When he kicked his chest, he suddenly felt a huge pain in his entire chest cavity as if it was shattered. About to rush up, he spit out blood when he opened his mouth, and lay on the ground for a while before recovering.Being beaten and scolded like this in public, he felt that he was forcibly slapped in the face, lost all face, and his annoyed heart became even more angry.
Luo Xiaying was startled, and plopped down on her knees, "Father! Father, please forgive my husband!" She stretched out her hand and squeezed her son's hand hard.
Gu Xiaolang burst into tears.
Gu Sanlang pursed his lips secretly, scoffing coldly in his heart, feeling a little disdainful.Stand still, do not go up to persuade.
Both Meng and Li Cuiling watched, not knowing what to do.
Gu Chuhan pulled Gu Lingshan back, "Father! Since you beat him, let's expose it! Mother is gone, and the living have to live. And fourth brother was young and ignorant, and he had already repented when he came back."
Gu Shilang also persuaded, "Father, don't blame fourth brother!"
"You bastard! Kneel for me!" Gu Lingshan shouted angrily.
Gu Silang got up and knelt down holding back the anger and hatred in his heart, his eyes were dark red, "Father only blames me for hurting mother, why don't you ask who did mother die for!? If it weren't for Ji Jiulang's leg, mother would not have killed her at all!" You won't hang yourself!"
"You still dare to argue?! You look like you've repented!?" Gu Lingshan pointed at him angrily.
Gu Silang quibbled, "I have repented! But I also repented of my mistakes! Why is it not all my fault, but blame me?! Let me alone?!"
"Jade pendant? Where's the money for selling the jade pendant?" Gu Lingshan asked angrily in a cold voice.
When asked about this, Gu Silang was at a loss for words.
Seeing her grandson crying in terror, Luo Xiaying couldn't stop Gu Lingshan from getting angry. She knew that he hated them and completely stood on Gu Chuhan's side. Not only was her heart full of sadness but also anger.Everyone sided with Gu Jiulang and the others, blaming and blaming them. Unexpectedly, the father-in-law would also completely side with them when he came back!Don't even think about the property at home!In the future, what justice and good life will they have in this room! ?
Only then did Meng dare to come forward and call the third uncle, saying that she was Gu Dalang's wife, and persuaded softly, "Third uncle doesn't care about anything else, but for the sake of the child, please forgive me this time!"
Gu Xiaolang was still crying in a hoarse voice, his little face was flushed with tears all over his face.
Seeing her speak, Li Cuiling quickly gave Gu Sanlang a wink, stepped forward to salute, and then spoke words of persuasion.
Gu Lingshan wanted to kick again, but was grabbed by Gu Chuhan, "Get lost! Don't let me see you again, you bastard! I don't have a son like you!"
Gu Silang was not reconciled, and he was called here just to beat him up, and then tell him not to show up again?Without his son?What do you mean?Disconnect with him! ?
Luo Xiaying's face was also stiff and ugly, "Father!? Mr. Xiang was young at the time, so he really didn't do it on purpose! Mother-in-law's death is not a one-sided reason, it can't be all blamed on Mr. Xiang!"
Gu Lingshan didn't want to hear any more, and told them to get out, "If you really want to, you won't even go to the grave to burn paper on July [-]th?! Get out!"
Luo Xiaying hurriedly said that she was going to burn it, and she burned it in advance.When Mrs. Gu was seriously ill, Mrs. Meng and Li Cuiling went back, and she followed suit. To show that she went to the cemetery to burn paper money for Mrs. Xie, and told Mrs. Gu and Gu Chuhan specifically.
"Get out!" Gu Lingshan didn't want to see them.
Gu Silang got up angrily, glared at Gu Chuhan bitterly, clutched his chest, and left.
Luo Xiaying watched and had no choice but to hug her son and leave with her.
The remaining three, Meng Shi, Gu Sanlang and Li Cuiling, didn't know what to say.
Gu Chuhan asked nonchalantly, "Sister-in-law! How many days does it take for elder brother to come back? Do you have a message?"
"I didn't send a message, but I guess I waited for the news of the rankings to come back. The work in my hand was finished in a day or two. When are you going home? Shall I go with you? I'm waiting for your elder brother!" Meng said with a smile.
Gu Chuhan nodded, "Then we'll wait for sister-in-law for two days!" Then he looked at Gu Sanlang and Li Cuiling, "How about you, sister-in-law?"
Li Cuiling hurriedly said, "Your third brother will only be away from home for three days during the Mid-Autumn Festival. We won't go home this year during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's see if there is a longer farming holiday in the future, and then go back!"
Mrs. Meng asked about Gu Lingshan's health again, and heard that he was in good health and that his family was also well, so he politely declined the meal and left with Gu Sanlang and Li Cuiling to go home.
Seeing that Gu Lingshan's expression was still not good, Gu Chuhan simply pulled him out, "Dad, don't be angry! Let's go shopping! Buy a gift! Also show the dowry to the second sister! The second sister's wedding is scheduled for the third day of the twelfth lunar month at the end of the year, and I will Not a few months to prepare."
Speaking of his daughter's marriage, Gu Lingshan's face softened, "Okay! Then go and have a look!"
After dinner, the three of them brought Shi Zan and Heihu went shopping.
"I don't need any clothes or cloth, just get the goods directly from Jinxiufang. For gold and silver jewelry, Baihe County orders some. The styles in the prefecture city should be different, so I can buy some later! Beds, tables and chairs are made to order at the furniture store. Yes, it’s already finished, I’ll make the sofa in my own shop, and I’ll catch up in October. There are some other odds and ends that need to be bought!” Gu Chuhan made a list, and when he came, he was thinking about Zhang Congwen, so he forgot to take it.
"Let's take a look first, and buy if there are any good ones! For small things, just buy them when you come to me!" Gu Lingshan laughed.
The three of you were just finishing shopping at the wedding shop and going to buy gifts when you heard the news of Zhang Xuan's death and came to the government office to inquire about the situation.
Hearing the three of them coming over, Zhang Congwen's eyes were gloomy, and he doubted again, "Let them in!"
Before Gu Chuhan entered the room, he saw that his face was a little gray and sullen, and his eyes were not as gentle as before. Although his gentle and elegant image maintained his appearance, it had already lost momentum.She snorted coldly in her heart, and quickly walked into the room with a worried face, "My lord! We heard people on the street that Brother Zhang Xuan had an accident? Isn't he good at martial arts, why did something happen suddenly?"
Zhang Cong Wenzai carefully observed her expression, but couldn't see any flaws. He frowned secretly and sighed, "Zhang Xuan has been with me for more than ten years, and I didn't expect him to die in a strange way! I can't find any clues about the murderer! "
"I asked people on the street, and some said that brother Zhang Xuan died unexpectedly at night when he was drunk! Some said that he was killed by someone! How did brother Zhang Xuan die? Who dared to commit murder in the government office? ?" Gu Chuhan frowned unkindly.
Zhang Congwen shook his head, "It's impossible for Zhang Xuan to be surprised, he must have been murdered! I have no clue who the murderer is."
At this moment, an arrow was shot on the plaque of the government office, and a long strip of cloth was tied to the arrow.
The guard chased to the opposite side, but found no trace of any suspicious person. The arrow was pulled out, and the cloth strip tied on it was opened, and the scarlet letter written in blood read: Zhang Congwen is not as good as a beast, raping and mutilating young people, your time of death is coming!
Several officials were surprised, what does this mean?rape! ?Harm! ?juvenile! ?
No one dared to say anything else, so he quickly presented the blood book to Zhang Congwen.
Zhang Congwen looked at it, and his face sank, "Where did Xiao Xiao come from? Bewitching words! Have you caught anyone?"
"Return...Return to your lord! No!" The servant lowered his head and replied, and couldn't help but glanced at him quietly.For so many years, this magistrate is the most kind and gentle person they have encountered. Not only is he upright and honest, but he has also done a lot of good things when he came to Xiangyang Prefecture. Could it be written in the blood book?
Gu Chuhan looked puzzled, "What did you write?"
Zhang Congwen thought about it, and handed it to her, calmly.
Gu Chuhan opened it suspiciously, and sneered, "What a mess! It's impossible!"
"Jiulang also thinks it's impossible?" Zhang Congwen asked her.
"Of course! My lord is not that kind of person at all! It must be that my lord hindered the interests of some people, and those people used this to slander me and threaten me! In this world, it is hard to survive!" Gu Chuhan frowned and said more and more angrily.
Zhang Congwen sighed, "Zhang Xuan was murdered in a strange way, and now there is this bloody book shot here. No matter how much I have done for the people, once those rumors spread and the imperial censor is impeached, it will not matter to the end of my official career. I am afraid that I have I'm too upright in the officialdom and offended too many people, this basin of sewage is going to be poured on my head!"
"No! Your Excellency has never done it, even if they frame it, they can't wrong you! We all believe that your Excellency is a good person! If it is true...if they dare to slander Your Excellency, I will write a book of ten thousand people for your Excellency! Please ask your majesty Return your lord's innocence!" Gu Chuhan repayed his favor with determination.
Zhang Congwen raised his hand and touched her head, feeling relieved, "I'm afraid those people believe the rumors, and their saliva alone will drown me!"
Gu Lingshan secretly glanced at the hand he placed on Gu Chuhan's head, with murderous intent in his eyes, he pulled Gu Chuhan and Gu Shilang to kneel down, "My lord! You are a very good person! If those people dare to wrong you or frame you, the villain's whole family will Justify your name!"
Gu Chuhan and Gu Shilang also hurriedly followed suit.
Zhang Congwen saw that Gu Lingshan wanted to repay, so he took advantage of the situation and proposed to recognize Gu Chuhan as his godson, "With Jiulang around, those people should also believe that I am not corrupted by rumors!"
Gu Lingshan's face was filled with embarrassment, "This can't be done! My son can't recognize other people!"
"What? You don't want to? It's just a son, not an adoption! Jiulang is still the heir of your Gu family, your son!" Zhang Congwen said.
Gu Lingshan had a dead-headed look on his face, "You can't do it! You can't recognize someone else as a father! In short, if someone slanders you, our family will justify your name! It's really not okay to admit a son!"
Gu Chuhan was a little embarrassed, and grinned apologetically at Zhang Congwen, "My father is a bit..." She pointed to his brain, saying that he was a bit brainy.
"You keep saying to repay the Lord! Now is the time for you to repay, but you are not willing!?" The subordinate came up and scolded.
Gu Lingshan's eyes were red, and he explained at a loss, "Recognizing the father and mother recognizes the father and mother. It is fate and destiny. You can't mistake it! If your lord wants to help us repay others, we will definitely repay you! This is really not good!"
It was as if they were forcing them to repay. Zhang Congwen shouted back at his subordinates, and sighed, "I have always been childless, and I valued Jiulang very much, so I decided to accept him as a godson. I am the one who made things difficult for you! Get up!" !"
Gu Lingshan hurriedly reassured him, and took Gu Chuhan and Gu Shilang to leave.
When I went outside, seeing someone following me, Gu Chuhan asked, "Father! Mr. Zhang thinks highly of me. If I recognize him as my godfather, my future and official career will be assured!"
Seeing that she said this, Gu Shilang hurriedly followed up, "Master Zhang is very kind to our family! It is because he helped a lot to get the booklet that Dad was pardoned so quickly!"
Gu Lingshan sighed bitterly, "Father also knows, but I can't push your brother into the fire pit! You didn't see the words behind the bloody book, Mr. Zhang's death is coming. If we recognize our god-in-law, those people will not be able to take revenge on Mr. Zhang." , come to kill us, then what shall we do!? Let’s go quickly! Mr. Zhang will be wronged, and we will get thousands of books at worst!”
Those who followed behind followed until the three of them arrived at the residence, and then went back to report.
After hearing this, Zhang Congwen did not completely dispel his doubts.
However, Meng's hands and feet are fast, but after finishing the embroidery work one day, he packed up his things and came to meet them and go home together.
When Yan Junfeng heard that they were leaving, he sent a bunch of game delicacies and moon cakes as a gift, and went to the government office to bid farewell together.
Zhang Congwen watched and let them go.At this time, there should be no further complications!Just looking at Gu Chuhan, the unwillingness to succeed flashed across his eyes.
Leaving Fucheng, Gu Shilang secretly heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Gu Chuhan and smiled.Now this trouble is big!The one who secretly wanted to assassinate Zhang Congwen would definitely take the opportunity to assassinate him, and that Zhang Congwen would have no time to covet Brother Ninth!
Not two days after they left, the words in the blood book gradually spread, and the whole city was in an uproar, unable to believe it.Rape and mutilate teenagers?This is something only a pervert can do! ?Even if a rich family keeps child molesters in captivity, there are some who have lost their sleeves, but they don't believe Zhang Congwen's rape and murder.
After the incident broke out, someone Zhang Congwen had offended directly reported it.Isn't it watertight?With such a big handle, you're still proud of it! ?
Zhang Congwen left the door of the government office wide open, "I have a clear conscience. I am not afraid of any monsters and ghosts. Let those who have evil intentions come here! The way of heaven is in people's hearts!"
What he said was righteous, and when there was a thunderstorm that night, the aboveboard plaque hanging outside the lobby was set on fire.
People wondered whether Zhang Congwen had really done something that harmed the heavens and made people worse than animals, and was punished by the heavens! ?
Zhang Congwen didn't believe in retribution from heaven, so while dispelling the rumors, he asked people to find out who was behind the scenes.
It's a pity that the crowd is so vast, it seems that the person behind the scenes has never appeared, and they can't be found anywhere, so the yamen's servants grab the merchants and interrogate them everywhere, making it even more chaotic.Makes people more suspicious.
Zhang Congwen was also in a state of desperation, he couldn't help being violent in his heart, but he still had to hold back on his face, and stabilized his posture.
It's not that he hasn't been dealt with before, but that side has never been exposed like this. Before that, he killed Zhang Xuan and cut off his most powerful arm at once.
Gu Lingshan and the others had already rushed home, Meng Shi was pulled in the carriage, and Gu Chuhan and Gu Shilang were sitting outside.Shi Zan was driving a car without a shed, pulling the purchased Jieli and Gu Raniang's dowry, as well as Gu Lingshan and Heihu.
When the group arrived home, Mrs. Gu saw that the masters were back, and brought back Jieli and Gu Raniang's dowry. She was very happy, and hurriedly asked the masters to eat first and wash up.
Meng Shi also returned home with the burden and the ceremony.
Every household has begun to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it's time for the autumn harvest.
This year, there is enough rain, and the rice is a few days late. Most people are planning to harvest after the [-]th day.
Gu Silang and Luo Xiaying also rushed back with their sons dragging Jieli.
Gu Lingshan refused to let them come to the door, "I don't have his son! Let him get out!"
Mrs. Gu looked at it, sighed, put away the mooncakes and meat, and told Gu Silang and Luo Xiaying to go back first, "There is no feud in the family, so I will try to persuade you! After a long time, your father will let you go." Alright!" She, the mother, knows best how much the third son put into marrying Mrs. Xie.Fearing that the daughter-in-law will be bullied by her sister-in-law, she persuades and puts down the picky son to give up the family.Now that the Xie family is gone, how can he feel better?It may take a while to get over this hurdle.
Gu Silang took a look, he didn't stay long, he gave the festival gift, just after the [-]th day, he asked the villagers to help harvest the rice and prepare the land, half of the harvest was harvested for the family, he rented out the land, and returned to Fucheng with Luo Xiaying and her son .He has no money now, and can only make money by buying and selling excrement in public toilets and huts. He has reached this point, and he must get money!More money than Gu Jiulang!
If it weren't for the silver, those people would not have stood by him to speak up for him, and they all blamed him for killing his mother!Those people are talking about money!The dead old woman had already been bribed by him!Even his father is on his side, because he has a lot of money!Look at him saving him with credit!
As long as his money also increases, those people will crawl over like dogs to curry favor with him!He does what he says!Never dare to look down on him again!
However, Gu Chuhan's reputation grew bigger and bigger with the harvest of cotton.
Cottonseed peeling machines have been used everywhere. It is convenient and light, and the cottonseeds produced in one day are twice as much as before.
Gu Chuhan has a machine here, and the village knows that everyone likes to come and borrow it, and there is no need for a basket of good words, so someone has already suggested Gu Lingshan.
This Gu Jiulang said that he was still young, and he didn't want to talk about his marriage without his merits, so what about Gu Lingshan?Although he hacked someone to death before, but there was a reason for it, and now he is pardoned by the current Holy Master himself, and he has a powerful and capable son with a wealth of wealth, and he will see a prosperous life in the future!
It has been three years since Mrs. Xie died, and the filial piety has also passed away. Gu Lingshan is not very old. He was tall and handsome when he was young. Now, although he has been trained for several years and has lost his former style, he is still much better than others!If you marry him, you will become the mistress of the third house of the Gu family, enjoying endless glory and wealth!
Seeing that their family was at home, they came over to talk and said that Gu Lingshan wanted to marry another daughter-in-law, "You are still so young, you must have a companion! You can't just rely on your mother to take care of the house, she is so old Now that you are old, you should enjoy your blessings! The eldest son was separated, and this Jiulang has no wife!"
Gu Lingshan bluntly refused, "I have a wife! I don't need to marry again!"
"Oh! Gu Laosan! I know you have deep affection for your wife, but after all, you are dead, and you are alone in the world. Xie Xiuyun is so kind and gentle, you must be worried! She Quan I know, I would definitely like you to remarry, so that you can be with me forever!" The matchmaker spared no effort to persuade.
Gu Lingshan still refused, did not agree to remarry, and told her not to say, "I will take care of my mother, my son and daughter live, and no one else needs it!" He said that he had to be busy and sent the matchmaker away.
Here Lian saw the matchmaker coming to the door, and when he got home, he said to Gu Laoer, "The third son is planning to marry another wife!? The matchmaker has come to the door more than once!"
"You don't care about them! The third child is still young, and the family is rich, so it is certain to marry again!" Gu's second child said enviously.The Xie family married by the third child was beautiful, gentle and capable. Apart from bad luck, he got sick and died early.Now that he has made a lot of money, even if his stepmother guesses, he won't marry a bad one!Maybe a girl with a yellow flower can marry it!
Lien said that she had a cousin, "It just so happened that the man died, and she was not bad looking. She was only in her 20s, but she was much younger than the third child!"
"Is that the cousin you mentioned? How does she look like? If the family is poor, no matter how bad she looks, she is still a widow, maybe her fate is hard, and the third child will definitely not agree!" Gu Laoer inquired.
Lian Shi pulled his face, "My cousin is young and well-groomed, do you think she is not good enough for him!? He thought he was really an official! Want to marry a young girl?! Or Miss Qianjin? !"
Of course, the second child Gu also wants to do it, so he will definitely get closer to their second wife, "But the third child must agree! In this way, let's see what your cousin looks like first, and see if we can talk about it!"
Just finished the busy farming, Lian Shi was very tired, "I can't let me rest for two days!"
"Okay! You rest!" Gu Lao Er said, and began to ponder.
However, Gu Lingshan was planning to go to Wuchang Mansion to see how He Jingzhi, the future son-in-law, was doing, and also to see how the shop was doing over there.
He Jingzhi and He Mugen didn't come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Cui asked his youngest son to bring moon cakes as a gift.
Afterwards, I took the money and found someone to harvest the rice in the field, but the land was scarce, and the harvest was fast. After harvesting, I took my youngest son to Wuchang Mansion, planning to have a family reunion there, and I didn't want to be at the mercy of the Gu family before marriage. They discuss.If you have the ability, you come to Wuchang Mansion by yourself and ask my wife to discuss it!I won't talk to you until the wedding date!I see you are still not bowing your heads!
Originally asked Mrs. Cui if she wanted to go and have a look together, but when she heard that she had taken her youngest son to Wuchang Mansion, Gu Chuhan frowned slightly, "I wanted to find a good family for my second sister. The husband loves each other and the in-laws are kind. See This mother-in-law is not very easy to get along with."
"Nothing is perfect in the world! The He family is already doing well!" Gu Raniang said, and couldn't help but think of He Jingzhi, her face became hot and bright red.
"Men's college should be married, and female college's should be married!" Gu Lingshan sighed.
"Father!" Gu Raniang blushed even more when she heard this.
Gu Lingshan laughed, "Okay! Daddy don't say anything!"
Gu Chuhan asked with a smile, "Second Sister! Do you want to go? You haven't seen each other for a long time. This time, I will meet you. You can't meet like this before you get married!"
Gu Raniang wanted to go, she wanted to go very much, she missed He Jingzhi, and wanted to see him.But it's hard to say that, she's a girl, she's not reserved when she says it, if it falls into someone's mouth, it's frivolous!But she couldn't help but desperately wanted to go there.
Seeing her expression, Gu Chuhan guessed that she wanted to go, and pulled her along with a smile, "Take this opportunity to relax, and treat it as a trip!"
Mrs. Gu stayed at home, and Gu Shilang and Gu Ruoniang also followed. The masters and the others took two cars with their luggage.
During this period of time, Gu Chuhan was busy, and Gu Raniang also helped He Jingzhi draw a bunch of new tea methods and patterns, and prepared to show them to him.
Huang Shengfan saw that the masters came to Wuchang Mansion, and couldn't help laughing sinisterly, "I'm really looking for my husband from a thousand miles away? After finding the place, I found that my husband and son-in-law have been robbed. Let's return the marriage again and see if you are still proud." Don't be proud! Let's see if you have been divorced twice, you bitch, and no one wants you to be a scumbag!" He turned around and left immediately after scolding.
When Gu Chuhan and his party arrived at the place, they didn't go to the shop right away. They first found a big car shop to put down their things, washed up and ate something, and then rushed to the shop.
People on the street ran towards the east of the city in groups of three or four, discussing livelyly while running, "Miss Six of the Shen family is a great beauty! She is beautiful and talented in life! There is money and power in the family. , Such a family wants to throw a hydrangea ball to recruit relatives, I don't know which one is cheaper!"
"Whichever is cheap is not for us! Those who go are the children of the aristocratic family, and only those who have a post can enter the door to pick up the hydrangea! Let's just watch the excitement!"
"Let's go! If you go late, there will be no excitement!"
Gu Chuhan also felt itchy when he heard it, "There is actually someone throwing a hydrangea ball to recruit relatives! The adults of the Shen family are really enlightened! It must be very lively!"
Gu Lingshan smiled, "Let's go to the shop first! It's just as lively as it sounds, and we won't be able to squeeze in if we go!"
Gu Chuhan withdrew his gaze with some regret.
Gu Shilang snickered, "Could it be that Miss Shen who was...by Ninth Brother!?"
"Huh?" Gu Chuhan squinted at him.
Gu Julang covered his mouth with a smile.
Gu Raniang also smiled, but she was eager to see He Jingzhi, so she was not interested.
When they came to the shop, the clerk Debao saw them and asked He Jingzhi, "My boss seems to be going to Shen's house to deliver the goods!"
"The Shen family is throwing hydrangeas, what is he sending at this time!?" Gu Chuhan couldn't help frowning, "Which room is it in the Shen family?"
"It seems...it seems to be..." Debao was dumbfounded.
Gu Chuhan's face turned cold, "I can't even say anything!"
"It's the second room of the Shen family!" Debao said hastily.
Degui ran back from the outside and saw Gu Chuhan and Gu Shilang, even if he didn't know Gu Lingshan and Gu Raniang, he guessed well, his face changed suddenly, and he turned around and wanted to withdraw.
Gu Chuhan came up and kicked him to the ground, "What happened? Why are you running away!?"
"My lord! Please spare me, my lord! Yes... yes... Miss Shen's hydrangea hit the master, and she is pulling him to worship!" Degui closed his eyes and said everything.
Gu Raniang's eyes went dark, and her mind buzzed.
